Abstract: The present invention provides major improvements with respect to a paper football game piece. The football may be formed using a sheet of paper folded into the desired triangular shape. A region of the paper is printed and embossed to simulate the bumpy texture inherent of cowhide or pigskin football leather, football laces, and one or more team logos. The same region may also be impregnated with a leather fragrance that when scratched may omit a desired scent such as a football leather scent.
